It’s scientifically proven that traveling could increase your happiness level.
It is not very common to see many blog posts about happiness or travel right now when many are under a strict “sit-at-home” instruction. While this is frustrating and demoralizing, a piece of good news is here to cheer up your spirit.
Scientific research has come out with proven results to tell people that, you need a separate bank account for your travel expenses and you should start making plans on that as soon as possible. This is a confirmation of your thirst and hunger for exploring the world.
A recent study at Cornell University found that spending money on experiences is more likely to bring you lasting happiness than spending money on material objects. The reason being that people “adapt” to physical objects – meaning the things you’ve bought will bring decreasing amounts of happiness as time goes on and you get used to having them around – whereas those one-off experiences will be looked back upon with joy that only increases.
So, this means that when you spend loads of money on the latest gadgets, posh cars, dresses, or swiss watch, it will still not bring you everlasting or memorable happiness. You will just end up getting used to these materials after a few weeks, you get fed up. After a few months when new models of cars are out or new designer collections, your old possession becomes a crap you want to do away with by all means.
